Translation

Tommy Williamson (of Bricknerd fame) was invited to build for the Comic Bricks art show at Designer Con 2014. It's a pretty cool challenge to adapt a two dimensional image into a three dimensional medium, and I think Tommy did a really good job. I'm particularly impressed by the lettering in the title.

Paul Lee is an experienced comic artist and used his skills to come up with two adaptations of the cover from Batman's debut appearance. He created these to celebrate Batman's 75th Anniversary. True to his background, Paul focused on the story content rather than punctilious accuracy and I think it really paid off. If you compare the two versions, there are a lot of differences, but the Lego one always leans towards simplification and clarity.
